Albion's Diego Lugano could be sidelined for three weeks after limping out of Uruguay's 1-1 draw with Austria last night.

The defender was forced off with a knee injury after just 30 minutes and he could now miss several key games in the Baggies' battle for Premier League survival.

He is out of Saturday's visit of Manchester United and is likely to miss the clashes against Swansea, Hull and Cardiff later this month.

It heaps misery on the Uruguayan captain who has struggled at Albion this season, starting just five Premier League games.
